discovolante And basically, the way I see it: it?s like saying that Snoop Dogg is the same as 100s, just because 100s is influenced by him. The same thing with LS and Nightmare. Plus, Nightmare haven?t even sounded similar to LS in a good decade or so.December 24 09:53 PM

discovolante Easy. Luna Sea?s prog-alt style is similar to L?arc and not Glay because Glay is prog-power pop. Different sound, different style. And Kuroyume are even further from being similar to LS because Kuroyume have never, ever had a prog-alt sound at all. I guess they had a goth sound when they first started, but it wasn?t the type of atmospheric stuff LS did at all.December 24 09:51 PM

discovolante Basically Nightmare and guys like that sound like LS (or did at one point). LS does not sound like them. If you said someone like L?arc who came out at around the same time as LS, then you?d have a band that were somewhat similar to LS. But that is literally the only band I can think of that sound anything similar to Luna Sea.December 24 05:15 PM

discovolante Yeah, but honestly, there are no bands like Luna Sea in my opinion, because they are just that centered on the members and their own individual sounds that get thrown in the mix. If it was any other band, I?d agree, but there are no bands really that sound like them, which is why I list their side projects instead. While they may be bands that were at a point inspired by them, that doesn?t necessarily make LS similar to them, but rather they are similar to LS. Sort of a one way street.December 23 09:30 PM
